Swap Goodies Have Arrived....

Happy Saturday Friends~

I was so excited when I got home from work yesterday! I did a swap with Donna http://sweetprairiedwellings.blogspot . My package was waiting on the porch for me. Well, I just had to grab it & rip it open. This is what my floor looked like when I was done. Lookie at all the wonderful goodies she sent me..com/

The first thing I unpacked was this prim little corn cob dolly. She found a home with her big sister in the tote in my kitchen. I love her!!

Next up was this grungy jar with a grundgy little tea light. The prim fabric tag says Apple Butter 1812.

A smaller grungy jar that says Simplify 1813.

Three prim pantry cakes~all a little bit different. Love them!!!

A nice little rusty candle pan.

This gathering is on my kitchen counter. Don't you just love it!

Pantry cake on top of my stack of shaker boxes.

One found a home in an old rusty tin cup.

I love this prim cone! I moved it from place to place before it found a home on my 16 drawer cubby.

Donna noticed in one of my older posts this old spool I purchased. She thought a prim electric candle would be perfect for it & threw one in my package. As you can see, it worked perfectly. I just need to add a grungy cheese cloth bow. Thanks girlfriend;>)

And last but not least was this wonderful gathering with a grubby towel wrapped in cheesecloth, candle, & sweet annie.

I knew the perfect spot for it as soon as I opened the package. It's new home is in my old blue bucket.

As you can see, Donna really spoiled me. Thank you so much Donna!! I love it all. I don't think I could pick a favorite~it's all perfect!!

I hope you enjoy your goodies when they arrive~I'm a little nervous.

Have a wonderful day everyone!! I need to get some crafting done cuz tomorrow is a work day again.

Prim hugs all~Becky 

New Hooked Rug & Swap Goodies in Place

Good Morning~

  I just had to show off my new hooked rug I purchased on ebay from Rhonda at My Glory Stars. I have to say I just love it!! I have one other rug of Rhonda's & I have to say she does quality work & her color choices are wonderful. I can't wait to display this in my home.

I also wanted to show you were some of my goodies ended up in my home. This is one of a set of towels. As you can see, it found a home in my kitchen on the handle of an old fruit carrier.

The prairie bonnet found a home on my hoosier cabinet in my dining room. I thought I would like it on my peg shelf in the dining room, but it didn't look right there. I love how it looks next to the frosted glass door.

The little prairie stump doll looks perfect with all my kitchen goodies.

I have a little candle mat that is in my kitchen, but forgot to take a pic. I'll post that later.

I'm off to sit with hubby at the hospital. He's having some health issues, so please keep him in your prayers. I'm hoping all is well & we should know more later today.

Enjoy your day!!

Hugs~Becky

Still Stormin & My Swap Goodies Arrived

Happy Friday Everyone~

I hope you are all have a good day so far. It's raining again today & hot & muggy. We already have a lot of flooding in the area as some nasty storms came through yesterday. Well~enough about the weather~on to the goodies...

I participated in Char's textile swap over at The Pickled Pepper Patch. My swap partner is Lecia of Farmhouse Prims. I came home from some errands yesterday to find this package on my porch.

Hmmm.... I knew who sent the package, but what goodies are hiding inside??

Even though I wanted to rip open the packages, I was a good girl & opened her wonderful card first. I nice note from a new friend....

Inside the first package was this cute little Halloween pillow Lecia bought from another blog friend.... Can it get any better? We're off to a great start!!

Next package....A house & willow tree candle mat~just perfect!! Love it!!

Package #3~a wonderful pack of hand towels & prim Halloween tag. I love crows!! Score ;)

Better view of one of the towels.

I'm showing you all the goodies in the order that they were opened. I think I saved the best for last without even knowing it.

I have to tell a little secret. Lecia was a little nervous about our swap because she said she was not a crafter. These next two items were made by her hands & they are my favorite two items in my swap package. It is wonderful that she came out of her comfort zone to attempt to make a handmade item for our swap. The rule was at least one item had to be handmade by someone. Lecia fulfilled that rule with the pumpkin pillow. I am honored that she made both of these next 2 items for me. She did a wonderful job on both the bonnet & the little prairie doll. I hope she had fun making these & it will something she continues to do. I will treasure them both!

Thanks Lecia for the wonderful goodies my friend. I just hope you will enjoy your goodies as much as I am enjoying mine. If you're reading this, your package will be in the mail soon!!

Enjoy the day everyone~Becky

Old Fashioned Christmas Swap Goodies

Good Morning~Just Lookie what showed up on my porch this morning!! My package from Char's Pickled Pepper Patch Old Fashioned Christmas Swap!! My partner for this swap was Beth from http://www.oldetymemarketplace.blogspot.com/ .  

Just lookie at how festive the outside of this package is. A nice Christmas bow and Beth stamped the package with some holiday rubber stamps. You can barely see the snowman on the bottom right side, but he's there. I went out to take the dog to do her business & this beauty was on the porch. I wanted to turn around right then & there and open it, but knew I would have a mess to clean off the floor if the poor doggy didn't get to go out. Needless to say, I was naughty & rushed her. Poor little Zoey doggy, but Mommy had a present!! Yippee!!This is what I found when I opened up my package. Isn't it beautiful? The hand stitched tag will be going on my Christmas tree. It will be a memory of my very first swap.The card that was in my package. The preview after the paper came off the top.

The first thing I unwrapped. A wonderful wooden bowl~my wooden item.Next came these perfectly prim pears made by Beth. They are to go inside the wooden bowl along with some Christmas greens she sent along. These were my three ornies/bowl fillers.

We were to send a wild card item to our partners. Beth didn't just send one thing, she sent multiple items. These perfectly prim Snowman & Santa dollies are 2 of the wild cards Beth sent me. Isn't she great?

This angel ornie was another wild card item. Don't ya just luv the stitching!

The green hand towel is my textile item and the snowball candle is the smell good item. The pic of the candle didn't come out too good. It's at the top of the towel. The little candle & holder and the star ornie (it sparkles & says faith) were also wild card goodies.

And last, but not least is the little pail filled with berries, greens, and a nice grungy battery taper candle is my lighted item. This was also made by Beth. Thank you so much Beth for these wonderful goodies. I love them all.

I would also like to thank Char from The Pickled Pepper Patch http://charsethman.blogspot.com/ for hosting this wonderful swap. This was my very first swap & it was wonderful. I'm looking forward to swapping again in the future.

Check back~I will be posting where all these goodies end up in my home. Have a great day~Becky
